I Rev. j. P. MacLean recently preach
ed in Greenville, the sprightly count.
seat of Darke county, and had good
congregation. This is another, of many
prominent places, where we'll directed
work would establish our church.
Rev. M. L. Hewett begins with next
Sunday his second pastorate of Belpre
circuit, and we trust that the relation
may be one Of long continuance.
We made pleasant call to-day at
the home of Rev. 8. P. Carlton, near
Milford Center. We found him busy
caring for the interests OF his excellent
farm. On March %, Br. Carlton will
complete his seventy-first year. A large
proportion of his life has been spent in the
ministry, and many have been led to the
truth through his instructions. He has
had numerous debates, and expects to
hold one in June with Rev. J. F. Fred.
erick, at Jenkins Chapel, Methodist Prot
estant church, about five miles west of this
place. Mr.. Frederick is the same person of
whom We gave brief sketch in a recent
letter, and who announced that "the devil
was the first Univerealist," and offered to
debate with any or all Universalist
preachers, specially challenging BIZ. Carl
ton, who promptly accepted. Mr.. Fred
erick evidently feels from evidence COM
ing to us, that he is in close quarters,
fact of which he will be thoroughly con-
WINGED, if he does not in some way man.
age to evade the actual test of his boast
ed ability to demonstrate that "Univers
alism is the meanest of all religions -
worse than infidelity." He recently held
series of meetings at North Lewisburg.
When he began, he announced his inten-
ton to convert hundred souls, and ac-
complished his purpose grandly. as when
he closed, he only lacked ninety-five.
One thing is certain, if the spirit he dis
plays in the pulpit, and in his correspon-
ence is that of God, the world is in q
pretty hopeless condition. In one of his
sermons at North Lewisburg, he pro-
claimed with much earnestnese, that
EIGHT out of every ten of the people
there, if they died that night would go
straight to hell" and several of the pious
brethren responded, "Amenp' We trust
that the debate he will have with Br.
Carlton, will help him to more hu-
name spirit, for he certainly does not
manifest very much evidence of having
partaken largely of the spirit of Christ.
1t is proper to say that the intelligent
members of his churches do not endorse
his conduct, and would gladly prevent
him entering into debate if he could be
restrained.

IDAHO.-LewistOn.- P. FL. Howe
sends word or two of decided encour-
agement from this distant outpost: The
Universalist church in Lewiston, under
the charge of Rev. Lee Fairchild, is
progressing, considering the many dis
advantages we have encountered for
the past few years. We are beginning
to feel very much encouraged. Our pas
tor is very much liked by our church and
the outsiders. We had two new mem
bers added at our communion, the last
Sunday in January, and we expect more
soon. We are having prayer and teach
ers' meetings once week, and church
sociables once in two weeks. We have
good Sabbath school, consisting of about
forty. five scholars. We have always kept
our schools going and think that is one
thing that has held US up under our many
trials. We have reason to praise the
Lord, for His mercy endureth forever"
CALIFORNIA.-Oakland. - The Uni
versalists of Oakland are rejoicing over
the full payment for their church lot. 1t
is we'll located, and will give to our cause,
in that beautiful and growing city, de-
cided advance impulse. It has been
hard struggle, and has been bravely
pushed to victorious issue by as devot-
ed band OF believers as can be found
in our Zion. The next step will be a
chapel Rev. s. Goodenough is the pas
tor of this parish.
Organization at San BernardinO. =
(EditoriaD. Rev. E. L. Conger has
started mission at this place. He has
preached several Sundays. The Times
of that city remarks of his first service
that "the gospel Of gladness," as present
ed by the preacher, twas treat to those
fortunate enough to hear him." And
adds that Br. Oonger sis profound
scholar, an able reasoner, and so pleasant
in his manner and address as to convince
those who hear him, that to enjoy life we
must be good" The movement, Br. Con-
ger writes, is full of hope. The third
service, held March 3, had many OF the
leading citizens present, who came for
ward and joined the organization and
offered to help to build church. An
order for singing books, christian Choir
ais" has been filed at the Western
Branch for this new organization. Now if
Br. CoDger could remain with this people,
or we had the right man to place in San
Bernardino, no doubt this parish would
grow rapidly and soon be self sustaining.
The Pacific coast is rapidly developing
into a splendid missionary field. o for
the menl-the manly, faithful, consecrat-
ed pastors to fill all such points! May
the good Lord raise up the laborers for
this teeming harvest field.

and untiring efforts be is infusing new
life into the parish and melting among
the people new interest and increasing
activity.-The annual fair, recently held
by the ladies of Little Falls, proved a
most happy success and added $400 to its
treasury. The young pastor, Rev. r. E.
Sykes, is quietly and earnestly working
for and with them, with good results.

ville.-Rev. w. s. Williams, of Maesa-

vile church and will commence his labors

Plainfieid.-The lecture on Saturday
evening, March 5, by Prof. @. Fl. Bar
tholf, of Chicago, in the Universalist
church, entitled, GA Trip to California
and Return" was an exceedingly rare
treat. The lecturer exhibited the ability
30 seldom found in public speakers, to
carry his audience with him and to make
them, in imagination, his actual compan-
ions in his travels and experiences, all
which were depicted to the life. The
only regret experienced by the audience
was that everybody was not present to
share the pleasure, and that the time of
speaking was not continued for an hour
longer. The music so generously sup
piled by the Crandall family was exqui.
site and contributed in the highest de-
gree to the delight of the audience. A
rousing vote of thanks was given at the
close to both the speaker and the must.
clans, in which none could more heartily
join than the deeply appreciative and
grateful pastor, to whose benefit the pro-
ceeds were devoted. May the blessing of
the liberal soul be the portion of these
noble hearted friends.

OBITUARY..

The Angel Of Death that has been
lowering over our city for some weeks
visited the household OF Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. T. Smith last Sunday night, and
bore away the soul Of their daughter,
LIZZIE FRANKLIN, to that undiscov.
cred country from whose bourne no
traveller returns The deceased was
in her thirteenth year, was the pride
Of the household, and beloved by her
associates and all who knew her. She
died OF typhoid fever, and was only
sick two weeks. just before her death,
and knowing she would not live, she
turned to her mama and said, Mama,
your baby will be in the cold, cold
grave without any mama" 1t was
explained to her that only her body
would be in the grave-that her soul
would live with God, and she died
happy, begging her parents. brothers
and sisters to meet her on the other
shore, The funeral was preached in
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
morning at ten o'clock, by the Rev j.
G, Cowan. The church was becoming.
" decorated, some OF the flowers com
ing from Lynchburg, Va, the former
home OF the deceased, All the business
houses closed and the church was
crowded, quite number not being
able to get inside. The remains were
followed to their last resting place by
Il large concourse OF friends OF the
stricken family.
The bereaved family have the sym.
